Library Art Exhibit - December

December 6, 2024  |  5PM - 7PM  |  Bainbridge Public Library

"Beignets and Martinis: A Studio and Plein Air Art Exhibit of Friends Who Paint Together"

All art is original and for sale

Celebrate the holiday season with First Friday Art Walk, December 6. The Beignets and Martinis show features original artwork by ten local women artists. These artists first met and began painting together over 10 years ago at the Winslow Art Center. Thank you for your support of the arts. The exhibit can be viewed at the Library's main meeting room throughout the month of December.

In addition to First Friday Art Walk from 5-7p, artists will be in the Library room on Friday from 1-5p and Sunday from 1-5pm with paintings for sale in addition to those that are hung on the library walls.

In 2020, when COVID-19 restricted most in-person gatherings, and Winslow Art Center was forced to go online, Martha set up Zoom calls and we named our group "Beignets and Martinis”. Although some are primarily studio painters, many met outside and painted "en plein air.”  As restrictions have lifted, Beignets and Martinis, meet to paint indoors as well as en plein air, and thus our exhibit combines both studio and plein air works. Each artist’s work is a unique expression of their individual journey, showcasing their personal growth and creative style. 

Art is for sale by the Artists with a portion of proceeds donated back to the Library
